If you're looking for a great hearty breakfast at a very decent price this is the place to go! The line for the drive thru may be long but you can also order online and pick up inside. I did this and got my food before all the cars that were in the drive thru. I ordered the bacon breakfast with biscuits & gravy and it was really good. Not too salty but just right. I ordered a side of salmon croquettes but wasn't a fan. They were too fishy for me. Overall I will come back here and recommend it to others. read more

I'm always here for cheese grits,bacon and a homemade biscuit. Friendly fast atmosphere. Oh and the sweet tea lemonade mix is always on point! read more

Very good! Enjoyed it!!! Will be back! The biscuit was soft! The meat was plenty and it simple was delicious!

This place is a hidden gem...if you are a true Southerner & know about such things as salmon biscuits, country ham, red hots, steak-o-lean, friend catfish, fried chicken & smoked sausage biscuits, you MUST make a trip out here to Lithonia. These biscuits & salmon patties remind me of my Granny's kitchen! Yes, they have gravy, as well. I stop by when I am in the area & you should too. (I can't believe that I just told everyone about this place...what am I thinking!) Do it & you can thank me later. read more

The "greasy spoon" pic on the wall tells you all you need to know about this spot. Might not be the healthiest but damn them biscuits are good. So glad I was introduced to this restaurant. And the prices are right as well. This is a gem. read more

I used to come here frequently with my Mom for lunch so this place holds bitter/sweet memories for me. I stopped by to get breakfast early one morning (around 6:30 am) before work and there was a line of cars and a steady stream of people going in and out of the restaurant. I love that they have a drive-thru so you don't have to worry about looking presentable and can go out as you are to pick up breakfast. Even though there was a line, it moved quickly and of course I love the fact they have a drive thru. I ordered the country steak plate with eggs, cheese grits, and a biscuit. Of course I had to get the peach cobbler because it's the best around. The food was really good and did not disappoint.! The country fried steak came with brown gravy instead of white but was still delish! The eggs were a little runny so I will probably get eggs with cheese next time. The peach cobbler is hands down the best I've ever had and tasted even better than I remember. I believe their biscuits are homemade but I didn't eat mine and would order toast instead. I'm very selective when it comes to biscuits and theirs was just too hard for my liking. I had my dog with me and the nice lady that took my order asked if I wanted to get something for her.. Now I don't know if I would have been charged or not for like a piece of bacon, but I lied and told her I would giver her some of my food but I thought it was a sweet gesture. There a couple of panhandlers in the parking lot so be mindful of that. read more

Mamie's Kitchen Biscuits - Steak and Gravy biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I was in the Lithonia area looking for breakfast and it was between Chick-fil-A and this and I chose this and boy did it not disappoint! I ordered a fried chicken, scrambled egg with cheese and bacon biscuit with cheese grits! That crunch from the chicken combined with the fresh baked biscuit is TOP MF TEIR! Breakfast of champions! Best cheese grits on this side of town! They forgot the bacon, but it was still absolutely delicious to the point I didn't even get upset. All I did was two days after the fact I called back and I said I would like to order the exact same thing again. I explained what happened and the manager ended up making up for their error. Not only did I get the correct order with the bacon but she also threw in a free drink, which she did not have to. I am a prickler for good customer service and the quality of this food is so consistent that there's always a line of cars busting out of the parking lot, which is always a good indicator. The manager and each worker that I've come across from the phone to in person is extremely pleasant considering how busy they are. If you are ever in the Lithonia area, don't walk run to this establishment and you won't be disappointed. read more

This spot is a delicious quick mom and pop run in. The food is made fresh and with love. Someone's southern grandma is definitely in the kitchen. The drive thru line is usually long so its best to go inside or order online. The service is quick and the ambiance is a quick in/out mom and pops shop. read more

Don't be fooled by the outside or inside because the breakfast is great! I had the salmon patties, with grits, and scrambled eggs. The salmon cakes reminded me of my grandmas patties. Service was fast and the employees were friendly. read more

I really wanted to try the food here but the wait was stupidly long. I pulled in, 7 cars in front of me. After 20 minutes, only 2 cars had been served. So I was looking at an hour of wait time. That is unacceptable no matter how good that food might have been. read more

Great no frills place for a quick and tasty breakfast. This location has temporarily suspended lunch service but the chicken and dressing is worth the drive to one of the other locations. This place has the best grits and they always give nice portions. The inside issmalland they dont have seating at this one, so you will have to take your food to go but theu have a drive thru. read more

Mamie's Kitchen Biscuits - Red link sausage plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Good, affordable, country cooking! I came here late morning around 10:30AM while I was in the area. The drive through line was so long it was in the road. I had to find out what the hype was all about. I ordered two fried chicken biscuits and a stack of pancakes. The service was great even though they were very busy the server at the window was very friendly. My fried chicken biscuits were huge and flavorful. The chicken was delicious and so were the biscuits. The pancakes weren't our favorites but they were pretty good as well. I can't wait to try other things from their breakfast menu. read more

Food used to be excellent but not anymore. They need to reevaluate their menu and offer some lighter options too. The biscuits were the best in Covington years ago but they have almost no flavor now. The drive through is horrible slow. read more

Pass my this spot most mornings for work and the line is always wrapped around the corner. Finally decided to try them out. They have drive thru and in store options and i chose to do the drive thru which was about a 10-15 minute wait not too bad considering how busy they are. The drive thru staff was pleased helpful. I chose the fried chicken breakfast which comes with chicken breast, 2 eggs grits and a biscuit. I was not a fan of the chicken it was overly breaded and the chicken was not tender or flavorful. The eggs i order scrambled where ok just standard nothing special. My favorite was the cheese grits which were thick creamy and cheesy and the homemade biscuit was tasty with jelly spread on top. I won't say my meal was worth the wait but I'm glad i got to try it out. read more

Ive been here twice. The drive thru line is always super long. Because of this, it made me want to stop since I drive by it all the time in the morning on my way to work and I'm like -- their food must be good! I got the Turkey sausage egg n hashbrown breakfast plate the 1st time which the turkey tasted like it was frozen too long and then put in the microwave. It had a freezer taste and the juices coming out were cold although the outside was warm. That was the only issue the first time. The second time I went after coming back from church and my family got food as well . 3 chicken egg n cheese biscuits (kids) again I tried the Turkey sausage egg n hashbrown breakfast plate and my husband got the Country fried steak, cheese, eggs, cheese, grits, white toast. The kids said the biscuits weren't bad as long as you added jelly because the biscuit was very dry. My order was OK, but not amazing, and my husbands order was missing altogether and he had to go back and get it, but once he did, the manager/owner apologized and refunded that part and had it whipped up for him quickly. So the Customer Sevice is there. Because of great customer service, which I also received through the drive-through, even though it was a long wait the drive-through attendant was very attentive and pleasant. I added an additional star. read more

Tore my stomach up. I ordered a smoked sausage, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and an orange juice. The eggs were runny with absolutely no flavor. I'm not sure if it was the eggs or the orange juice that messed me up but when I got done eating it was within 15 minutes of me feeling like Craig's dad on the highway RUSHING to get home.... ‍........ read more

Food 5/5 Home cooking at its best. Rather it be the country breakfast options or the daily lunch specials. Mamies does not disappoint. Not many healthy options but if you come here you're not looking for them. Service 4/5 Southern Hospitality when you walk up to order is what is given and what should. E expected. From the Ladies in the back to the guys upfront everyone greets you. Ambiance 4/5 It's a country breakfast/lunch spot no frills just home cooking. read more

I only had the biscuits but had two off the rip and then two more over the course of the next couple of hours! I endorse the biscuits!

Wonderful food and friendly service! I always try to find local gems and hit the jackpot on this one. The food was delicious! We had a country ham with egg and cheese biscuit and a boneless chicken meal with Lima beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. I also had a order of streak o lean which was just like my grandma would have had atop her stove waiting for grandkids to come in and snack on. Everything was delicious and a great value. The peach cobbler is waiting for us to have for dessert. read more

The food at Mamie's is tasty and satisfying. i'm back in town after several years back up north, and am happy to report that Mamie's is my local spot to get my southern breakfast fix. Now - please manage your expectations - it is NOT a fancy place by any stretch. There's no dine-in, but there are a few benches and chairs for you to sit on while awaiting your order. The kitchen looks like chaos, but Mamie and her Ladies do an efficient job of managing all of the incessant orders they get, with the help of the cashier, a round-bellied charming dude who greets everyone and takes orders quickly. i stopped by recently and enjoyed: - the pancakes with cheese eggs (not the fluffiest pancakes, but tasty and so are the eggs without being firm or runny) - the chicken biscuit - just a simple, savoury sandwich, the biscuit is well-made - hashbrowns - decent with ketchup - turkey sausage breakfast plate with cheese grits Now: - minus 1 star because the salmon biscuit i ordered was just dry and unappetizing. - minus a 2nd star because NO ONE was wearing masks, and one lady with extra-long nails, and ungloved hands was busy serving food!!! Have we not learned anything in the past two years? Folks in food service especially need to be gloved and masked to prevent bacterial and virus transfer. Talking with saliva particles falling all over the food is NOT a good look. i take my food home & heat in the oven before eating it, but standard food hygiene practices should ALWAYS be followed, especially in this age of plagues that we're living in. Stop by Mamie's if you're craving a heavy, mostly tasty breakfast. read more

Now we aren't talking fine dining here... What we are talking about is good old country cookin. I love stopping by for country fried steak and gravy biscuits. Really the best you can get anywhere. The biscuits don't get soggy in the gravy. The steak is well tenderized. You'd better be fast or you will get run over here. read more

The food is so good I didn't make it out of the parking lot. They're often busy, so if you can, order ahead online so you can just walk in and pick your food up. My last order someone got lost, but they quickly rectified the issue. read more

Breakfast was good. Eggs weren't cooked hard enough for me but still tasted good. Grits were excellent and so was bacon.

Meh. I definitely expected more. I always pass this place and the line stretches down the street. Well I woke up with time today on a lazy off day. The drive up line takes longer but I brought a book so big deal, about 30 mins. That excellent service everyone mentioned? Not on Monday's I guess. You should know what you want when you approach the window bc no menu was provided. I ordered smoked sausage breakfast with scrambled eggs and grits. Also got a biscuit and a side of gravy. The food- grits are good, very good flavor. Smoked sausage is really nothing special to me. Eggs are not seasoned and gravy has absolutely no flavor. Everything is only ok. The biscuit is big and fluffy but really doesn't stand out like previous reviewers described. Idk if I will return for this forgettable breakfast. read more

Always a pleasure to eat from here. Food is great with decent prices. It's a family affair. You can eat off a plate for two days

My bf and I drive past this place all the time and decided to stop in. We went an hour before close, so we were concerned about the reception. The manager was so welcoming and treated my bf and I like family. Their customer service was superb! Biscuits were so buttery!! We will definitely be back! read more

Mamie's Kitchen Biscuits - a tray of breakfast foods - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I visit this place at least three times a week and order the same thing mostly. The last three weeks I've ordered cheese eggs double smoked sausage and toast and I've been charged no more than $5.50 each time from different cashiers. When the manager "Mike" is working as the cashier I'm being charged $10.20 for the same thing. Mike told the cashier that I had a double smoked sausage breakfast with cheese eggs and wheat toast, I asked why I'm I being charged for a full breakfast and I didn't have any grits when a full breakfast comes grits, I was told you still get charged for a full breakfast. I told Mike that everytime he is working the register I'm charged a different price compared to when someone else is at the register. I even pointed to the menu to show Mike the prices, cheese eggs $1.69 and smoked sausage $ 1.79. I was told that those prices included a biscuits with my order. I asked why am I being charged by you Mike $10.20 for my meal he told me again I order a breakfasts and not biscuits and you order toast. I told them to take off my toast and my grand total was now $8.22 from $10.20. I added up my total with cheese eggs (biscuit) double smoked sausage (biscuits) for a grand total of $ 5.27. Before I walked out of this restaurant I told Mike again I come in here two or three times a week and enjoy the food but everytime you're on the register my price is more than the listed price on the menu and even the cashier who is working today and standing next to you only charged me $5.27 on yesterday, he then stated SHE made a mistake, Mike I think you are the Mistake here... read more

Food and service is pretty good. Good old country cooking. It's been there for years.

This was my first time coming here. The lines were long. So I glad I made the decision to call ahead for faster service. They have a drive through but like I said, it is long. No dine in. They do have a walk up window. If you do place a pick up order, you have to get out of your car and go to the pick up window. I ordered the Salmon cake plate. It came with eggs, grits and biscuit/toast. I opt out of both the bread and biscuit. The grits were really good. The eggs were ok. The salmon cake were salty so I had to make sure I had enough water to wash it down. I really wanted fruit but they do not sell any. However, I will be back again! read more

Mamie's Kitchen - down right good country breakfast, and probably in my top 5 favorite breakfast places of all time in the metro area. I come in, and the first thing at least 2 employees ask me, "where are the kids today?" If you come more than once or twice, they will know you. And your kids. And when I sit down, someone will ask me if I need anything at least 2 or 3 times even though there aren't technically any "servers." Its more of a cafeteria style breakfast where you may usually wait in a long but efficient line to get your breakfast items, which may include biscuits (with sausage, turkey sausage, salmon croquette, pork chop, chicken, or just egg and cheese), eggs, grits, the usual. Something you may not see on the menu but should try is their pancakes. Everything is delicious! Especially the biscuits, eggs, pancakes, and any biscuit sandwich. Even the sweet tea is superb. The drive thru line is worth noting. Its usually loonng in the mornings but efficient. Maybe you'll have difficulties parking, but it's worth it. Come to Mamies Kitchen every day for breakfast if you can. Just do it. read more

It's alright. Eggs was watery & runny. Even crappy McDonald's egg is better. Sausage patties, & sausage links were decent. Biscuits was alright. I've had way better biscuits. Fast, quick, friendly efficient service. Long lines & wait time is due to the layout of their business. They have just 1 window for EVERYTHING, ordering, paying, getting your food. Sometimes the guy would come out & take your orders. Hiring a dedicated person for this would cut into their profit margins. Portion size is average for the price that you pay. Would i revisit? Only if all the fast food places, like McDonald's across the street, are closed. Not worth the wait at all. It's hype. read more

We visited Mamie's around noon on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and what struck me immediately was the long line in the drive-thru. That was certainly a good sign for this "no-frills" restaurant. The place is small, with about 10 tables and a little counter up front where we placed our orders. The red and white tablecloths reminded me of a picnic while the food was reminiscent of diner fare. Good diner fare. I split the pancakes, which came in an order of 3, and the chicken breakfast. The chicken breakfast came with a biscuit, a fried chicken breast, eggs, and grits. Others at the table opted for the popular salmon cakes, hotlinks, french toast, and breakfast sandwiches. We also tried the peach cobbler, which had slightly under-cooked crust that had more of a biscuit consistency, peaches, and cinnamon. It was just ok. The breakfast food was seasoned well and cooked well. And the prices are very reasonable. This is the kind of place where you can take the industrial size bottle of syrup to your table until another table needs it. It's the kind of place where someone walks around and asks "anything else you need, sweetie"? It's the kind of place that you bring your family to and enjoy casual food. So, If you're in to innovative food and fancy breakfast spots, this isn't the place for you. But, if you're looking for good, Southern food between the early morning hours until 2pm Monday through Saturday, then stop by Mamie's to either dine-in or pick up a bite to eat. They serve breakfast all day and they have daily lunch specials. read more

I've been to Mamie's quite a few times, I'm the Duke for Gods sake so I think I finally feel comfortable enough to write a review. My first couple of trips here were not the best but I think I have to blame it on myself. I didn't really understand how to order and how things work in this place. I think the first time I came, I ordered a piece of chicken and a biscuit... #nobueno. I couldn't grasp what the hype was about. The next time I went in with friends and family and this cool guy that worked there explained that we should order a meat and a side (eggs, grits or gravy and a biscuit). My favorite thing to order now is pancakes with chicken and cheesy eggs. The pancakes are always warm and fluffy and the chicken, mmmm mmm mm delicious! To me, it's better than chicken and waffles. I've had the biscuits and gravy before (picture uploaded) but there was just too much gravy and I'm not a big fan of the gravy. It lacked flavor, even though it was caked on. The peach cobbler here is really good. It's a little buttery but its still tasty and definitely tastes homemade. On the weekends this place gets really packed with a long line so I definitely suggest calling in your order. I tried it this past weekend and it was great. I got to the spot and he line was almost out the door. I walked in and the lady came out and told me to go to the front of the line to pay for my food. I felt like VIP!! Overall this place is really good. It gives you the old fashioned, hole on the wall vibe and you know those are sometimes the spots where you get the best food. I love taking out of towners there for breakfast because I know they'll get the full southern experience. read more

I'm sorry y'all but this food is nasty. I've lived in this area for years and have often driven by and seen the long line of cars in their drive thru. I figured between that and the reviews, the food must be really good. So I ordered ahead and promptly went to pick it up. My order was Salmon Patty, grits and cheese eggs with a biscuit on the side. The grits were good, and the eggs a bit runny but overall ok. The salmon was bland and tiny. Now, those biscuits....YUCK!! I have no idea what chalk paste they use to make them but I could barely chew them down to a soft enough texture to swallow. Zero flavor and just nasty. If anyone thinks this food is how "Mama makes it", then their Mama can't cook. And the place looks unkept on the inside. Some of the workers do as well. read more
